I came across a list of The Worlds Top 10 Weird Cookbooks and I thought I’d share the list with you. There’s certainly some interesting stuff here! So if you’ve always wondered if you can cook on your car engine or if people really eat roadkill, bugs, or actually cook while nude the answer is yes and there’s lots of recipes to prove it!

1. “Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine,” by Chris Maynard & Bill Scheller (Villard Books, 1989, out of print). Meals on wheels, anyone? Utah’s Dian Thomas has also given directions for cooking under the hood of an automobile in some of her “Roughing It Easy” books. But given the price of gasoline nowadays, it’s probably cheaper to just use your stove.

2. “The Original Road Kill Cookbook,” by Buck Peterson (Ten Speed Press, 1987, $6.95). This one has spawned sequels such as “The International Roadkill Cookbook” and “The Totaled Roadkill Cookbook.” Yum.

3. “Eat-A-Bug Cookbook: 33 Ways to Cook Grasshoppers, Ants, Water Bugs, Spiders, Centipedes, and Their Kin,” by David George Gordon (Ten Speed Press, 1998, $16.95). Don’t complain about the fly in your soup.

4. “Special Effects Cookbook,” by Michael E. Samonek (MES/FX Publishing, 1992, $9.90). Sounds like you can use this one for your kids’ science experiments.

5. “Cooking in the Nude: Playful Gourmets, the Fun and Lusty Approach to Gourmet Dining for Two,” by Stephen Cornwell & Debbie Cornwell (Primavera, 1988, $3.89). I would be very, very careful around the stove!

6. “Cooking to Kill: The Poison Cook Book,” by Ebenezer Murgatroyd & Herb Roth (Peter Pauper Press, 1951, $15). This slapstick book boasts recipes to use on spoiled brats, business rivals and strayed lovers that will “make your friends die laughing.”

7. “Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook,” by Robin Davis (Chronicle Books, 1998, $1695). Recipes include Yoda Soda and Princess Leia’s Danish Do’s (modeled after Leia’s famous hairdo).

8. “The Mini Ketchup Cookbook,” by Cameron Pearl (Running Press Books, 2006, $4.95). What, no fry sauce?

9. “Cooking for Cats: The Best Recipes for Felix, Orlando and the Rest,” by Elisabeth Meyer Zu Stieghorst-Kastrup (Dumonte, 2002, $6.88). Actually, it’s not that weird to cook for your pet, considering the recent tainted pet-food scare.

10. “Strange Foods: Bush Meat, Bats, and Butterflies; An Epicurean Adventure Around the World,” by Jerry Hopkins & Michael Freeman (Periplus Editions, 1999, $5.99) This one gives new meaning to the term “global cuisine.”

When a burglar has to ask the police to help him you know something strange is going on. This was the case in the western city of Katowice, when a Polish burglar end up asking the police to save him after an axe-wielding night watchman attacked and chased him until he crashed his vehicle.

The watchman took the 25-year-old burglar by surprise after he had broken into a house. The watchman hit the burglar three times in the head with the blunt end of an axe, cracking his skull. “The dizzy burglar fled to his automobile and managed to lock the door and start the engine,” a police spokesman told PAP news agency.

The watchman chased the vehicle, shattered the driver-side window and yanked the steering wheel, sending the van the burglar was driving into a mound of dirt.

The burglar called the police when he was trapped in the car. The courts will now decide whether the watchman’s actions went beyond self-defense and constituted a crime.

The burglar’s head injuries were not life threatening. The burglar faces 10 years in jail for breaking and entering. His head injuries were not life threatening, however the watchman could face eight years in jail if charged with fighting with a deadly weapon.

Are you a Do It your Self type of person? We are. We’ve been busy renovating our home since the very first day we moved in, I guess you’d call it a remodeling job. We got a lot done in the first year, but we’ve slowed down over the last two or three years. The last project that we finished together was the installation of a sunroof on our enclosed front porch. We did that so that a little bit more light might come into our living room since the front of our house where the living room is faces North.

It’s really saved us a lot of money by doing things ourselves. Of course we haven’t always known exactly what to do. I think our friends who are contractors and construction workers are sick of hearing from us because we’re always asking them- how do we do this, how do we do that? Or else we are researching techniques on the internet.

If you are like us - a DIY type person you might be interested in visiting this great site that I just found. It has a ton of information on home repairs. I only wish that we’d discovered this site a few years ago. It would have really helped us out.

I know it’s going to help us with the projects that we started a while back and haven’t finished yet, and also for the projects that we hope to start in the next few years such as redoing our kitchen and our basement too. Those will be big jobs.

This site is full of helpful tips for the DIY type of person whether you be a renter as we once were, or a home owner. There’s even tips for automobile owners there too. There are several categories to choose from such as carpentry, cleaning, decks, painting and flooring just to name a few.

Oh yes I also wanted to tell you that while I was visiting the Handy Household Hints site I discovered that they are having a $50,000 Extreme Home Makeover Contest. Naturally I entered. I’m a DIY renovator but I’m not stupid. If your home could use a makeover you might be interested in entering too.
